Relating clinical and neurophysiological assessment of spasticity by machine learning
Spasticity following spinal cord injury (SCI) is most often assessed clinically using a five-point Ashworth score (AS). A more objective assessment of altered motor control may be achieved by using a comprehensive protocol based on a surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity recorded from thigh and leg muscles. However, the relationship between the clinical and neurophysiological assessments is...
متن کاملEvaluation of 36 patients from Turkey with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis: clinical, neurophysiological, neuroradiological and histopathologic studies.
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is one of the most common progressive neurodegenerative diseases seen in childhood. NCL is inherited as autosomal recessive trait, and is characterized by the accumulation of 'ceroid lipofuscin' in neuronal and extraneuronal cells. Clinical features include seizures, ataxia, myoclonus, loss of vision, and mental and motor deterioration. Although the disease ...
متن کاملNeurophysiological studies of auditory verbal hallucinations.
We discuss 3 neurophysiological approaches to study auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH). First, we describe "state" (or symptom capture) studies where periods with and without hallucinations are compared "within" a patient. These studies take 2 forms: passive studies, where brain activity during these states is compared, and probe studies, where brain responses to sounds during these states ar...
متن کاملNeurophysiological studies of autogenous sural nerve grafts.
Sixteen autogenous sural nerve grafts used for ulnar and median injuries in the forearm have been studied neurophysiologically up to two and a half years after operation. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies revealed a slow but sustained improvement during the follow-up period. By two years, motor conduction velocity across the graft itself reached in most cases 40 to 85% of the conductio...
متن کاملAssessing the Neurophysiological Effects of Cannabinoids on Spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis
Background: Spasticity is a disabling symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Cannabinoids have been proven to reduce the subjective feeling of spasticity and thus have been suggested as an effective therapeutic option in MS. The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying their clinical efficacy, however, remain poorly understood. Objective: We combined neurophysiological methods to test the effect o...
